: Years of Settlement

It has been more than a month since Dantiao Valley, and the autumn scenery has already been replaced by winter snow. On both sides of the road, the only unchanged things are pines and cypresses, but they are still covered with layers of thick snow. As the scenery on both sides rushes behind me one after another, unexpectedly

In a trance, I didn’t feel that it was a war horse moving forward.

Perhaps, it is really something else that is retreating rapidly...

If it weren't for the fact that there was only one road from Donggu that would never go astray, perhaps Tian Ruoning would have habitually rushed to the top of Saw Wave to report the military aircraft to Lin Chujiang, and then rushed back to Leyouyuan to play a few games of chess with her father, and then

, rushed to Ting Yuexuan to chat with the brothers over wine and songs, and went to Changping Road to accompany Ruoye, who was one year older, for a walk and talk about the principles of life. What a coincidence, when passing by the purple bamboo forest, I saw him again

That girl in plain clothes who was always in the welcoming queue but would bow her head shyly and leave quietly when she saw him up close. She didn't even know her name but made him pass by the purple bamboo forest unknowingly every time he came back...

It turns out that there are so many missed places and so many missed people. Perhaps it was the Battle of Western Guizhou that brought the past that had been forgotten for so many years into my heart. I wanted to trick myself into going back in time twenty years.

The year is still before the Battle of Longnan. There is still time to prevent all the cruelty and trials. However, how can you deceive and defend the gray temples and deep wrinkles?

Short Knife Valley, in fact, has been violated for a lifetime!

In the Battle of Western Guizhou, he got a good BMW horse, Gu Tingxian, but was captured by the opponent in the decisive battle. He could have got it back, but unfortunately, he was so confident that he took a risk on a genius. So.

, although Gu Tingxianxin may still be here, after all, it was because of his fault that he lost the opportunity to come back...

No matter what, no matter how aloof and arrogant you are as Gu Tingxian, you may not be able to be accepted by Cao Fansu and follow Lin Qian. Maybe it's a good thing. Tian Ruoning sighed: For a moment, you Gu Tingxian won't either

Being one of Lin Qian's people will not affect the overall situation.

A defeated general cannot protect himself, so how can he get paid to put out the fire? Tian Ruoning has already seen everything clearly, so he takes it very lightly. The responsibility for the battle in western Guizhou will be borne by him alone...

"When the general left, he issued a military order." When Su Jiangxue greeted Tian Ruoning, her tone was neither cold nor hot. Of course it was neither cold nor hot.

It is said that because the fire in northern Sichuan alarmed the imperial court, someone above them has already started investigating the case. It is obvious that the investigation is false, and that it is true to disturb his foundation. Although Su Jiangxue is not timid, he can no longer be as unscrupulous in his actions as before.

Because of this, Su Jiangxue once resented Wei Zidi's insidiousness. She originally planned to focus on Wei Zidi after Tian Ruoning wiped out Lin Qian, and wanted to play him to death at all costs. Unexpectedly, a month later, when Lin Qian defeated Tian Ruoning, Sichuan and Guizhou

All the direct troops in the area returned without success. This situation was besieged on all sides and was imminent. Su Jiangxue was not even in the mood to blame. He simply said "sixty punishments", which was already a grace for Tian Ruoning.

Tian Ruoning was about to receive the punishment when she was stopped by Gu Zhen who was beside Su Jiangxue: "Sir, I am thinking of the old general..."

"No need to say more." Su Jiangxue made up her mind.

"If you insist on punishing me, then Gu Zhen will take it for you!" Gu Zhen also defended in a stubborn tone and blocked the punishment.

"You!" Su Jiangxue's face turned livid, "You know..." He couldn't finish his sentence and suddenly coughed violently.

Tian Ruoning hurriedly said: "General Gu's good intentions are appreciated by Ruoning, but Ruoning is indeed guilty of this defeat."

"Old General, in the future, he will also perform meritorious service for your lord." Gu Zhen looked at him with a smile, but his eyes were as hard as iron.

"Okay, if you want to take the punishment for someone else, then I will help you!" Su Jiangxue was furious and immediately took the stick from Gu Zhen's hand and really started to chastise him. It was the angry Su Jiangxue who chastised him personally.

.

Tian Ruoning's eyes were wet at that time. If she had any motivation to live, and if there was anyone in the army who she loved and admired, it was General Gu Zhen who loved soldiers as much as his son, who was gentle on the outside and full of knowledge on the inside.

, Lin Qian may not be able to match his ability to gather military morale. More than half of Su Jiangxue's die-hard loyalists are convinced by him. If it weren't for him, Gu Zhen, who is loyal to Su Jiangxue wholeheartedly, I am afraid that many people, including Tian Ruoning, would

, and will no longer be loyal to Su Jiangxue.

I still remember that in October of that year in Lueyang, the man who faced the siege of tens of millions of Jin troops without changing his expression, under the bloody sunset, held on to a city that all his comrades had abandoned, even if the soldiers were extremely tired and could no longer fight.

When he goes into battle, he will personally train the people to defend his country! And when Tian Ruoning asked him if he would try to make concessions to the Jin people for the sake of these people, he shook his head uncompromisingly and said that the Jin people would not give in, they would only push for an inch. Facts

In the book, Yang Danqing of Huixian County tried to negotiate with the Jin people for the sake of the safety of the people. As soon as they met, they fought with weapons and finally the entire army was annihilated. The Yang family was defeated and the army was gone. How could the generals protect the safety of the people...

Tian Ruoning recalled that she was once praised by Gu Tingxian for "having the world in mind", but in fact, the real hero with great benevolence and righteousness was General Gu Zhen! Once upon a time, she had the same sincere sigh for Gu Zhen!

The mountains are wrinkled with snow.

In recent years, the rebel army has been leaderless. Su Jiangxue could have taken this opportunity to unify the Dandao Valley, and then replace Lin Chujiang to command the martial arts of the Southern Song Dynasty. However, when the rebel army was in disarray, his own career happened to be in decline - the foreign enemies were fierce, how could he have time to quell the internal troubles?!

Since the year before last, the cross-country cottages distributed throughout Shaanxi have been severely attacked by the Jin Dynasty. After repeated defeats, the situation is basically over. If there were not some small forces around that could cooperate, they would have been uprooted by the great prince named Wanyan Junfu.

Starting. Under the sweep of the brave and skilled Wanyan Junfu, not to mention winning the battle in the cross-country cottage, even sleeping peacefully is an unattainable dream. So it is no wonder that the rebels feel that the time has come to overthrow the official army——

It did come, on the premise of sacrificing the whole of Shaanxi.

The house leaked and it rained all night, and the pressure of the eldest prince was already hard to breathe. Three months ago, in mid-August when the Northern Sichuan War was about to break out, the second prince led ten troops from the north and was also inserted into Lintao and Lintao by Wanyan Yonglian.

Fengxiang obviously made Wanyan Junfu, who already had super strong combat power, even more powerful! Su Jiangxue was vaguely aware of Wanyan Yonglian's intention: the eldest prince continued to target the cross-country cottages, while the second prince eradicated those small forces on the periphery... In this way,

The Shaanxi Song Army is in danger...

What's ridiculous is that even though he knew Wanyan Yonglian was his biggest rival, a month ago, Su Jiangxue, who was obsessed with profit, still secretly found He Ruosong, the number one in Jinnan, to cooperate with him. In the final analysis, he still relied on the power of Wanyan Yonglian's subordinates... However,

, not only failed to defeat Lin Qian, but also attracted the attention of the court. Su Jiangxue, who had spent a month in panic, finally saw the scene he least wanted to see. It was Tian Ruoning who died without success.

Afterwards, Lin Qian returned to the top of the saw wave unscathed and even in high spirits!

Su Jiangxue clearly understood that on the surface, there was no sign of chaos. It seemed that the officers and soldiers were still very powerful. In fact, it was like standing quietly on the commanding heights but unable to stand firmly. As long as the opponent gave a push, he would immediately fall from the cliff and plummet, forever.

Turn over. Lin Qian was able to handle this thrust with ease.

If you can get over this hurdle, you are like a dragon; if you can't get over it, you are like a worm - the description of Su Jiangxue at this moment couldn't be more appropriate.

"Uncle Su!" Two childish voices sounded out one after another.

Su Jiangxue stopped and looked over. Playing in the snow were Gu Ting's two little girls, Gu Xiaojuan and Gu Xiaoyao. They were both only four years old. They wore their hair in cute buns and could not help being caressed. Su Jiangxue

I couldn't help but forget my worries for the time being: "It's Xiaoju and Xiaoyao."

"Uncle Su, hug!" The two little people rushed into his arms. They were not afraid of him. They liked to play with his beard, hug him, and act coquettishly and let him kiss him. Su Jiangxue loved children so much...

Xiao Dian, in particular, is really like his eldest daughter Su Mulian who slipped and fell to death for some reason just two years after arriving in the Valley of the Short Knife. His lovely child was just three years old when she died, but she could already carry it on her back.

Tang poetry, although the meaning of many poems is unclear... "Hey, this is..." Her finger once stopped on the word "Jiangnan". Su Jiangxue told her with a smile that Jiangnan is where her father grew up.

There is a place more beautiful than this Dankou Valley. "Jiang... Nan..." She blinked her eyes and seemed to understand, but she seemed to be very longing for it... But little pity, dad can never take you to Jiangnan to see it.

Look at the mountains in the south of the Yangtze River, the water in the south of the Yangtze River, the mist and rain in the south of the Yangtze River... Dad's destiny is northern Sichuan, Longnan, Shaanxi...

Holding Xiaojuan and Xiaoyao in their arms, they were lost in thought when they saw the window of the room opposite opened. Gu Zhen looked at him through the window with a smile on his face. The friendship of comrades for more than thirty years, one look contained all the tacit understanding.

I have come here without knowing it. For thirty years, whenever I have a problem that I can’t figure out, I will come here immediately.

Cao Fan and Su Gu, apart from Cao Xuan who is younger, Fan Kexin has a daughter, Su Jiangxue has six children, and Gu Ting has a son and two daughters, but Gu Zhen has never married for so many years and has always lived alone.

In this place, he doesn't like changing the environment very much.

However, even though he said he didn't like change, he still walked out of the small town in the south of the Yangtze River and accompanied Su Jiangxue to the frontier fortress thousands of miles away. He was supposed to be a staff member, but he still had to charge into battle.

"You, you know it!" - When Gu Zhen insisted on punishing Tian Ruoning for sixty years, Su Jiangxue once said this with a livid face. You know... you know that I can't hurt you! You are me, Su Jiangxue

Childhood playmates, young classmates, comrades in the prime of life, lifelong friends, if we can’t remember when we started to change from a clear spring to a turbid stream, but I still remember a little bit, we started to change from a clear spring to a turbid stream at the same time.

Turn into turbidity!

At this moment, she could only sit by his bed and give him medicine herself, "Oh, it ended up like this..." Su Jiangxue regretted it endlessly.

"Gu Zhen is willing to do so." Gu Zhen lay on the couch with his back to him.

"The older you get, the more aggressive you are!" Su Jiangxue's expression changed, and the hand applying the medicine unconsciously slapped the injured area hard. Gu Zhen, with such a gentle temperament, couldn't help but scream, and Su Jiangxue couldn't help but

A little embarrassed again, he quickly concentrated on applying the medicine, and finally sighed: "You don't have to take it for him. The cane punishment is commonplace for him, but not for you... I don't really want to punish him. You should know that I

I rely on him like the Great Wall." He said reproachfully, he has been a close friend for so many years, but he can't even see clearly?

"How can you destroy the Great Wall if you rely on it?" Gu Zhen said calmly. Su Jiangxue was shocked and suddenly understood. Gu Zhen continued: "Lin Qian is gaining the upper hand now. If you still insist on punishing Tian Ruoning, I'm afraid the morale of the army will be damaged."

If it is unstable, it is easy to drive fish away from the abyss. At this juncture, even one cannot be missing."

Su Jiangxue completely understood and was moved: "It's for me."

"At this juncture, you can't punish Tian Ruoning. But if you don't punish him, you can't show that rewards and punishments are clear. The only way is this." Gu Zhen smiled and turned his head.

Su Jiangxue stared at him blankly, so excited that she couldn't even utter a single sentence. Thousands of words turned into a sigh: "Gu Zhen, you and I are true friends!"

"I have followed Mr. Su through thick and thin for so many years, how can I not know how to share Mr. Su's worries?" Gu Zhen said.

"We have Wanyan Yonglian on one side and Lin Qian on the other. We are surrounded by strong enemies on both sides, and we don't know what to do. Alas, I, Su Jiangxue, sometimes have a hard time." Su Jiangxue confided in Gu Zhen.

"Master Su, there is no need to worry too much. Although your two enemies are both strong, they are mortal enemies of each other and cannot cooperate with each other. But you can lead Lin Qian's forces to Shaanxi to deal with Wanyan Yonglian, or Wanyan Yonglian's forces

Go to Sichuan and Sichuan to deal with Lin Qian." Gu Zhen smiled.

"However, the rumors are so tight now..." Su Jiangxue frowned. The court was currently handling his case, but it was actually the group he belonged to.

"Any cooperation can be very short, completed and terminated in an instant." Gu Zhen tried his best to eliminate his hesitation.

"Yes... After all, there is no eternal cooperation..." Su Jiangxue sighed.

"You can ask our old friends to help eradicate Lin Qian." Gu Zhen reminded him.

"who?"

"Thrust Wang Huai's life, stabbing the Qin family through the heart." Gu Zhen replied, "We have cooperated several times before."

"Them?! If they hadn't cooperated with Wei Zidi to attack the Luo family and the Jing family last month, how could I have been targeted by the court and ended up in this situation!" Su Jiangxue was furious.

"Sir! You just said that there is no eternal cooperation." Gu Zhen shook his head to calm down his anger, "Besides them, there is really no one else we can find at the moment. The only Jin people left in Sichuan at the moment are Nan Qian Shi and

There are two groups, Gongxianzhuang, and it is said that the top ten in the South are busy looking for their young prince recently... We can only cooperate with Gongxianzhuang."

Su Jiangxue suddenly calmed down. Gu Zhen continued: "Sir, whether you can cross this hurdle or not, the outcome depends on this."

"Help me contact them." Su Jiangxue nodded heartily.

"Wang Huai and Qin Yu are in Sichuan and Sichuan, so it should be easy to contact them. Once we cooperate, it is obvious that they will no longer rely on Wei Zidi." Gu Zhen said.

Su Jiangxue was in a good mood: "The reason why they are so close to Wei Zidi is to show off their strength in front of us? I'm afraid their original intention is to cooperate with us!" After saying this, he felt a lot more comfortable and laughed.
